On the other hand, the body is used as an instrument and the camera becomes eye, brain, gaze, intention.…The heaviest “responsibility” for the one who dances is to be in harmony with the space (floor, walls, chairs, other bodies…). Llámame mariachi speaks of this experience. The attempt to find harmony is precisely what the camera captures with its unforeseen events, its approximations, by conveying an experience of a physical and intellectual nature rather than formal and aesthetic…Mambo brillante...
